Rural And Tribal Environmental Solutions, Inc.

Rural And Tribal Environmental Solutions, Inc., a Montana-based Subchapter S corporation, operates as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) delivering water and wastewater operations training, environmental health assessments, and technical assistance to federal agencies serving rural and tribal communities across the Western United States. The company competes on an unrestricted basis without set-aside designations; all recent awards reflect full-and-open competition.

The vendor's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward civilian environmental and health agencies. The top five funding entities account for 92% of recent awards by count and 99% by combined potential value. The Indian Health Service dominates by award volume (82 awards, $5.5 million combined potential value) with operations and maintenance training courses delivered through the IHS Albuquerque Area office's Environmental Health Support Center. The Environmental Protection Agency Region 8 ranks second by volume (74 awards, $15.2 million combined potential value) but first in dollars, anchored by a $3.53 million single-award BPA for the Wyoming Public Water System Supervision Program running through February 2029, encompassing Level 2 assessments, sanitary surveys, microscopic particulate analyses, and on-site technical assistance. The GSA Federal Acquisition Service, through its Federal Supply Schedule vehicle awarded February 6, 2025 with an $18.7 million ceiling, accounts for the largest single-contract dollar value and runs through February 2030, enabling federal agencies to place task orders for water quality, environmental health, and operator training services on demand.

Rural And Tribal Environmental Solutions holds three primary parent vehicles, all under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule contracting authority. The Federal Supply Schedule ($18.7 million ceiling) provides the broadest access, with 146 task orders generating $21.7 million in combined potential value; recent ordering activity includes an 865 thousand dollar delivery order from EPA Region 8 for tribal public drinking water systems support and multiple IHS BPA calls ranging from approximately $12,900 to $42,800 for specialized training in pumps and pumping systems, water distribution, wastewater collections, lift station operations, electrical controls, and disinfection/Safe Drinking Water Act compliance. The EPA Region 8 Wyoming Public Water System Supervision Program BPA ($3.53 million, single-award) has generated three substantive task orders as of April 2024 with completion dates extending through July 2029. A more recent IHS single-award BPA ($1.3 million, awarded November 20, 2025, completing February 28, 2027) funds operations and maintenance training through the Albuquerque Area office, with calls issued on as-needed basis for specific training initiatives. All training delivered under these vehicles emphasizes off-the-shelf and customized curricula with minimum 33 percent hands-on instruction components.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on environmental compliance and operator training delivered to federal agencies supporting Native American communities and rural water systems. Representative work includes a $2.26 million labor-hours BPA call from EPA Region 8 (April 16, 2024) for sanitary surveys and technical assistance through January 2029; an $858,061.84 call for Level 2 assessments of Wyoming public water systems (April 19, 2024, completion July 31, 2029); and multiple IHS training courses covering water distribution systems, wastewater operations, lift station management, pumping systems, electrical controls, and Safe Drinking Water Act compliance delivered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Hayward, Wisconsin, and Denver, Colorado. The vendor's primary NAICS category is Environmental Consulting Services (163 awards), followed by Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services (12 awards), reflecting its focus on water quality, infrastructure assessment, and regulatory compliance support.

Activity has been substantial but uneven in recent years. Awards totaled 184 across the source period, with annual volumes of 7 (2022), 19 (2023), 14 (2024), 9 (2025), and 5 (2026 year-to-date). Combined potential value sits at $43.4 million, with $10.3 million obligated to date (24% drawdown). Four awards (combined potential value $944 thousand) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting modest recompete exposure. The vendor operates as a prime contractor on nearly all work; the sole sub-award noted (from October 2023) involved environmental consulting services supporting assessment and watershed protection.
